Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite and managed by Mozilla Corporation. A Net Applications statistic put Firefox at 24.23% of the recorded usage share of web browsers as of February 2010[update], making it the second most popular browser in terms of current use worldwide after Microsoft's Internet Explorer,[5] and the most used browser independent of any one operating system.[6] Other sources put Firefox's usage share between 20% and 32%.[7][8][9]
To display web pages, Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine, which implements most current web standards in addition to several features which are intended to anticipate likely additions to the standards.[10]
Latest Firefox features[11] include tabbed browsing, spell checking, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager, private browsing, location-aware browsing (also known as "geolocation") based exclusively on a Google service[12] and an integrated search system that uses Google by default in most localizations. Functions can be added through add-ons, created by third-party developers,[13] of which there is a wide selection, a feature that has attracted many of Firefox's users.
Firefox runs on various versions of GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows and many other
Unix-like operating systems. Its current stable release is version 3.6, released on January 21, 2010
